I had wanted to update the console in my Jaguar XJ-S for some time. Among the features I wanted were modern drink-holders. I always felt that the Jaguar console was poorly designed. Most of the horizontal space was used up by two huge ashtrays (I don't even smoke!) and the rest is used by the cruise control switch and the cigarette lighter.

Well, the veneer on my console had cracked beyond repair, so I removed the ski-slope. When I examined the space below it, I found that there is a little more than two inches of space below the ashtrays. I realized I could replace the ashtrays with cupholders, but how?
